Hey folks,

Nearly all of our public streams (that is, streams that can be viewed, joined, and interacted with by anyone who joins this Zulip instance) are also "Web Public", which means that you can read the threads without becoming a member of this Zulip instance, and search engines can index threads in the stream.

This #WASI-Virt stream, however, is not web public.

I'd like to get everything consistent, and I also believe there are benefits to allowing people to read threads before creating a Zulip login. Some previous discussion here: https://bytecodealliance.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/206238-general/topic/web-public.20streams.3F

Does anyone have any concerns with me flipping this stream over from "public" to "web public"?

@fitzgen (he/him) thanks for looking into this - I would have set this as web public if I could have but didn't have the permission on creation. It would be great to get this in line with the others.

The same applies for the "jco" stream I believe

cool, I'll make the switch!

fitzgen (he/him) (Apr 19 2024 at 17:22):

ah wait it seems I don't have permissions, but I thought I did

@Till Schneidereit can you do that?

fitzgen (he/him) (Apr 19 2024 at 17:22):

(and same for #wasi-gfx)

Till Schneidereit (Apr 19 2024 at 17:37):

unfortunately I can't, but I'll request it from people who can :smile:

Till Schneidereit (Apr 19 2024 at 17:37):

(I looked into whether we can change that for our instance, but that doesn't seem to be possible)

I requested this change, and also filed an issue for Zulip to enable mods to do this: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/29793

Allow moderators to make existing streams web-public if they're allowed to create new web-public streams · Issue #29793 · zulip/zulip

Right now, an organization can be configured to allow moderators to create new web-public streams, but it's not possible to allow them to make existing streams web-public. I'm not sure if this is c...

@fitzgen (he/him) thanks for sorting this out. Do you think we could do the same for the jco stream?

fitzgen (he/him) (Apr 19 2024 at 19:41):

I'll forward the request
